Betsy Bagley fromCatalyst, NYC with her daughter Kate. Betsy led the FMA sponsored HCOB Inclusion in the Workplace Forum

April 4, 2018

The Inclusion in the Workplace Forum was educational and enlightening. Thank you to Betsy Bagley for presenting such an well-structured, educational event. I know many of you reached out to Betsy to thank her for her efforts. Gratitude can never be over-valued. Speakers and sponsors often follow up and comment on student emails. Always remember to show appreciation for the efforts that others make in helping you to succeed. This includes resume review, interview prep and general advice. As Ayn Rand said in Atlas Shrugged: "Gratitude—the appreciative acknowledgement of a favor, by word and deed—is a matter of justice."

We have one last general meeting this Thursday in 005 with Vulcan.

WHO ARE WE?

William Cole

William Cole, from Birmingham, AL, is majoring in Finance with an English minor. He joined FMA because it allowed him to explore an industry that he knew he wanted to be a part of, but did not understand the numerous options and how to navigate them. William knew he wanted to work in finance because of the dual capability it offers to work with complicated financial transactions while also maintaining strong client relationships. William advises younger students to “read and research as much as you can early on since finance has so many options, but the sooner you can start to figure out what is right for you the better because finance moves FAST”! After graduation, William will be joining Regions Securities as an analyst in Atlanta. We will miss you and your endless gifs, William!

Tim Strader

Tim Strader came to Auburn all the way from Newport Beach, California after choosing Auburn for its culture and architecture program (which he quickly switched out of). He joined FMA as a sophomore and believes it helped him so much more than he ever thought possible (editors note – mainly because Tim is a driven, intellect with a quick wit an great sense of humor)! Tim reminds younger members to keep an open mind when it comes to the finance world and to never underestimate the power of networking… it can get you just about anywhere you want to go. Tim previously interned with Southwest Airlines and while working there, flew on 53 flights in three months, for a total of 35,600 miles! Tim will be working with J.P. Morgan Private Bank as an Analyst in Orange County, CA after graduation. You’re a champ Tim, we will miss your comedic self around here!
